#32 Victreebel - Base Set 2 (base4)
Victreebel is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. Its attacks include Lure, which requires one Grass energy to swap an opponent’s Benched Pokémon with their Active Pokémon, and Acid, a two-Glss energy attack that deals 20 damage and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating during the next turn if a coin flip results in heads. The card’s flavor text hints at its elusive nature, describing it as inhabiting remote jungle colonies. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this card belongs to the Base Set 2, released in February 2000. It has no inherent resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The card’s thematic color scheme aligns with its Grass typing, reflecting a natural, plant-based aesthetic. Its strategic versatility lies in its ability to disrupt opponents’ positioning through the Lure attack.
